~Park Chanyeol~

"Baek, i bought vitamins. Nasa taas ng ref. Nakita mo na ba?" 

"Yes. I did. Bakit parang ang dami ata nung--"

"What brand of stroller do you want? Or yung mga feeding bottles? The clothes? Towels or soap? I can go to the mall after i meet with Mr. Wu." 

"I don't think i need them for now, you know? We still have--"

"And the name! Please Baek, tell me you didn't think of one yet. You promised that we'll think about it together!"

"I know. I still haven't thought of a name. And besides--"

"Please take care of yourself. Tell Kyungsoo to manage the restaurant for a while. I'm sure he can take the job."

"Yes, babe. I've been thinking about talking to him about it. I'm sure he can do it. Do you--"

"Oh. I already talked to Luhan. We can schedule a check up. When do you want it?" 

"Anytime. I do nothing but take care of the kids for now. They are--"

"Baek, i told you not to--"

"Oh, Chanyeol! The baby is still a few weeks old! Paano nalang kung malaki na tiyan ko? Baka hindi mo na ako pakainin mag-isa niyan." 

I sighed and looked at Mae who is watching me with a grin. I had set my cell in speaker phone so that i could rummage through my works while talking to Baek. I shook my head and pulled a folder from a drawer. 

"Baek... i'm just worried, okay?" i said. "I want you both to be really, really healthy." 

I heard my husband sigh. "Channie! Do you really think i can't take care of myself?" he asked and i can almost imagine him raising his brow. "You don't have to worry. Hindi ka ba nahihiya kay Mae? Naka-loud speaker pa ata yang cellphone mo!" 

"Yes." i admitted. "I am currently looking for some files. Jongin will pick them up later." 

"Hello, Mae!" Baekhyun exclaimed through the phone. "Galingan mo magtrabaho ah! Saka balita ko buntis ka na daw?! Congratulations!" 

Mae laughed as she flipped through some envelops. "Thank you po, Sir Baek. After one year po ng paghihintay! Finally!" she grinned. "First baby po namin ng asawa ko kaya super excited na po kami. And congratulations din po, Sir." she said with a huge smile. 

Baekhyun laughed. "Thank you! If you need something, don't hesitate to tell me, okay?" he said happily. 

Mae nodded and handed me a long folder. "Yes, Sir. Thank you po ulit." 

I glanced at my secretary and gave her an apologetic smile. Baekhyun could be over-friendly at times. "Baek..." i called. "Do you need anything? I can go home early if that's what you want. I still have time, you know?" 

"Hmm..." Baek thought for a while. "Grapes? I think i would love some grapes for tonight." 

I nodded and grabbed my phone. "Sure. Just remember everything i said, okay?" i said as i finally put the phone in handset. I put it against my ear and smiled to myself. "Keep safe, baby. I love you."

"I love you, too, Yeol. See you tonight." then he finally hung up. 

I placed my phone back on the table and grabbed the folder. "Ito na ba lahat?" i asked Mae.

"Yes Mr. President." she said as she handed me my suit. I put it on and walked towards the door with Mae following me. 

"I'm here for Mr. Wu Yi Fan." i said to the blonde woman at the reception. "Is he around?" 

The woman walked to a desk and grabbed a phone, talking in whispers. Then she looked at me. "Sir, may i know your name?" she asked as she eyed me. 

"Park Chanyeol." 

She nodded and resumed talking. Then she nodded and placed the receiver back on the desk. "Mr. Wu would see you at restaurant. It's this way, Sir." then she walked out of her area and led us into a large fine dining restaurant located just a few feet from the elevators. 

Mae and I went to sit around a circular table. "Mr. President, what if, ayaw niyang pumirma dito sa ginawa nating kontrata?" Mae suddenly asked beside me. 

I looked at her and frowned at the table. "Then i'll call my lawyer and file complains against him." i said. "Hindi biro ang ginawa niya kay Baekhyun. And what he did with Jesper, i could file a case about that." 

Mae nodded and looked at the entrance nervously. Secretary ko na siya kahit noong hindi pa kami kasal ni Baek. I even know her husband and attended their marriage. I know how much she cares for Baekhyun since they are really close. I hope her hard work on working with the contract wouldn't be put to waste. 

Yifan came walking to us after a few minutes. His expression is blank as he sat across from me. "Chanyeol, I know why you're here." he said, his voice dry.

What happened to him? 

"That's good." i said and glared at him. "That would save me a lot of talking." 

I nodded at Mae and she pulled the folder from her lap and placed it on the table. She pushed it over to Yifan and he looked at it with a sigh. He flipped it open and read the contract fast. 

"I will sign this." he said, almost lifeless. "But first of all, i want to ask you something really important." 

I rolled my eyes. "You don't have the right to ask me anything, Yifan." i said between gritted teeth. "You know what you did with Baek. You know what you did with Jesper. You don't deserve anything from me." 

Yifan looked at me for a moment. And surprisingly, he sighed and looked down. He closed the folder and ran his hand through the smooth cover. He then pulled something under his coat and placed it over the table. 

It's a magazine. 

I frowned. "What is that?" i asked and looked at him in confusion. 

"You still didn't see it?" he asked and pushed the magazine to me. "It's the new issue of the Happy Wedding magazine. I saw it... and bought a copy."

I slowly took the magazine and was surprised to see Baekhyun and me on the cover. It was during the photo shoot and Baek looked really gorgeous on it. His eye-smile... his lips... his nose... cheeks. They are all perfect. I found myself tracing his face on the cover when Yifan spoke. 

"I read the feature... the interview and some facts you shared to the writer." he said quietly. "Even the pictures. You... Baek... the kids..." he trailed off, looking down on his lap. 

I flipped through the magazine and saw the page where the interview was printed. "What are you trying to say now?" i said and glanced at Yifan with a frown. 

Yifan sighed. "Chanyeol... i am really sorry." he said as he met my eyes. 

I raised my brows in surprise. This is so not him. 

"What--"

"I was really a jerk for trying to get Baekhyun from you." he said. "He loves you too much and i don't know where all of that love came from. Kahit anong gawin ko... hindi niya ako magawang magustuhan. I gave him everything! But still... he can't even like me." 

I sighed and shook my head. "You are a jerk for doing those." i hissed. "You can't buy Baekhyun. He is not a thing for sale." 

Yifan nodded. "I thought love could be easy." he murmured and looked down. "I thought i love Baekhyun. I thought i fell in love with him. Pero sa huli... infatuation lang ang lahat." 

I gritted my teeth in annoyance. "Too late." i said and glared at him. "You realized it too late. We don't want to work with you anymore." 

Yifan nodded and opened the folder. "I know." he said. "I will finally go back home." he whispered and grabbed his pen. 

I nodded and watched him sign the paper. When he's finished, Mae reached out for it and returned on her seat after verifying Yifan's signature. She placed the folder back to her lap and nodded at me. 

"Park Chanyeol... you're lucky." Yifan said as we stood up, ready to go. "You're one hell of a lucky married man." 

I looked back at Yifan and nodded. "Baekhyun and I... we know how to take care of our marriage." i said seriously. "One day, if you'll get married, i hope you will have a happy one." 

Yifan stood up and slowly shook his head. "I hope you told me that earlier." 

I frowned at him. "What do you mean?" 

Yifan raised his hand and pointed a finger to a ring he is wearing. "I am married, Chanyeol." he choked and looked at me with fear. "And it's with your interviewer, Huang Zi Tao." 

And the next thing i knew, people are pulling me from him.
